I have 30+ Microdevario Kubotai fry in my Nano Cube 20 and they are now about 5,5 weeks old. I'm thinking soon they won't fit in there any more (the tank is 3/4 filled so only about 11 or 12 liters of water), but I also find it a bit scary to move them, they are sooo tiny. I am changing 2, sometimes 4 liters of water daily and I have gotten away with it so far.
The final destination will be my 175L high-tech, not suitable for them yet I guess. Well I have a Superfish Home 40 which houses ±20 yellow shrimp and a few horned nerites, but the filter compartment isn't fry proof. Does anyone have experience in modifying the filter compartment, so that it won't harm the babies?
Another option would be to keep them in the Nano Cube a bit longer, raise the water level and increase flow (I have a spare but non-cycled internal which could run parallel with the sponge filter). But I think the fry would benefit more from length than from depth. What do you think?
